Rudy Giuliani Claims He Boycotted Yankees Games: 'I Love My Country' More
Rudy Giuliani claims he boycotted New York Yankees games over the organization’s support for Black Lives Matter.
The former New York City mayor, who was booed by Yankees fans on his birthday in 2018, made the statement about his attendance at the team’s games while bashing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the wake of their “Pride Night” invitation to a drag group that satirizes nuns.
“I want the American people to stop, don’t go to Dodger games. The Dodgers have decided to declare war on Christianity, forget the Dodgers. You don’t have to go,” Giuliani said in an interview with Newsmax.
“I did that with the Yankees when they supported Black Lives Matter. Sorry, I love my country more than baseball,” he added.
In a tweet posted Friday, Giuliani advocated for boycotting the Dodgers at least through 2023.
The Yankees publicly declared that “Black lives matter” while players donned “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts in July 2020. Giuliani wrote on Twitter in 2020 that Yankees players were “hypocritical” for kneeling before the game and slammed support for BLM as “disgraceful.”
